Bhubaneswar: Expressing solidarity with the party activists who faced the violent attacks by the ‘TMC’ workers in West Bengal, BJP leaders including State President in Odisha today launched dharna as per party decision to resort to peaceful stir across all organisational mandals in the country.
Targeting the newly elected Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, Union Minister and BJP MP from Balasore Pratap Sarangi said that TMC and its leaders have crossed all limits of barbarism in Bengal.
“BJP workers are being targeted. Party offices are being torched. TMC-led WB government has murdered the democracy. BJP workers are being murdered. Women are being misbehaved with. But, police are mute spectators. Is this the characteristic of democracy?” Sarangi asked.
“We have decided to fast-on to death for two days starting today at mandal level. All leaders in Odisha will stage hunger strike from 6 am to 12 noon in their home due to lockdown in the State,” he added.
What kind of democracy is there in West Bengal? What kind of political tolerance by the Ruling Party?
